Cruise night!
It’s an Amer­i­can tradition
That be­longs to any­one who loves competition

 

Some day I’m go­ing to write a long form es­say about films like

Thank God its Fri­day (1978)

Van Nuys Blvd (1979)

and Skate­town USA (1979).

Be­cause I be­lieve these B lev­el pic­tures are more ac­cu­rate por­tray­als of their time’s idio­syn­crasies and sen­si­bil­i­ties than the more re­spectable stuff of their era.

Why do I think this?

Be­cause a cheap­er, faster shoot means you pick up all the stuff that would get sand­ed-off by a more ‘le­git­i­mate’ production’s longer pro­duc­tion time and need for cer­tain facets of timelessness.

Any­hoo, I think there’s some­thing here worth writ­ing about.

Mak­ing to­day more of an oc­ca­sion than just Friday.
